github.com - KAD is designed for evaluating the accuracy of nucleotide base quality of genome assemblies. Briefly, abundance of k-mers are quantified for both sequencing reads and assembly sequences. Comparison of the two values results in a single value per...

github.com - AlignGraph2 is the second version of AlignGraph for PacBio long reads. It extends and refines contigs assembled from the long reads with a published genome similar to the sequencing genome. More...

hal.archives-ouvertes.fr - Pros and cons of HairSplitter Limitations of HairSplitter: Not very fast: it re-polishes the whole assembly  Limited in the number of haplotypes Strengths of HairSplitter: Very modular, can be used with any assembler Naive: makes no...

github.com - HECIL—Hybrid Error Correction with Iterative Learning—a hybrid error correction framework that determines a correction policy for erroneous long reads, based on optimal combinations of decision weights obtained from short read...

Benchmarking a new metagenomic pipeline often begins with a fundamental challenge. Imagine a bioinformatician preparing to benchmark a new metagenomic pipeline. There is no shortage of real sequencing data, but one problem quickly appears: the exact...
